Allergic to nuts? Pay attention to this cereal recall from the state health department

If you are allergic to almonds, pay attention. The public health department has announced a recall of Ezekiel 4:9 cereal because it may contain almonds even though the nuts aren’t listed on the ingredient list.

Food For Life Baking Company issued the recall of its sprouted grain cereal this week[1], the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said. There are no reports of the cereal harming anyone, but health officials warned that people with severe sensitivity or allergy to almonds run the risk of a serious of life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the cereal.

The cereal was sold nationwide at health food stores and supermarkets, including King Soopers and City Markets throughout Colorado. The cereal comes in original, golden flax and cinnamon raisin. The recall is limited to cereal shipped nationwide from Nov. 20, 2012 to Feb. 11.
